• • Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council March 17, 1982, Page 6 Considerable discussion followed, individual to individual; none directed to the moderator. Faris: Mr. Mayor, you have a motion on the floor. Meza: We were not going to vote on this. We were only going to hear their recommendations, and if Council is ready to make a decision on the information they have now, we can proceed. However, if the Council feels they need time to think about it or to gather more information, we can postpone it for a week. Skelton: I think we need more time for further consideration. Meza: Have you taken into consideration that A Street is uded by the County Court House for parking during court hours? Skelton: Mr. Mayor, is San Jacinto not a County maintained street? Does the County have any say as to what we do with San Jacinto? Meza: Well, it will have to be an agreement between County, City and State Highway Department. Cline: Mr. Mayor, may I say something, please? Since I have been. the street commissioner .here in La Porte and know a lot of this stuff. T don't disagree with what Mr. Richards has told you, but I would like to ask the Council to consider one other thing that he has brought before you tonight, and I think it is a very good idea. Now, he is advocating no parking on the east bound traffic coming into Main from the Highway to 8th Street. Please consider no parking on the west bound, also. Meza: There used to be no parking on the west bound. I don't know what happened to the signs, but I haven't seen any parking there in years. Rib.hards: We certainly agree with that. In fact, we have a sketch showing just that. Faris: Mr. Mayor, you have a motion on the floor. In light of what Mr. Skelton pointed out. about San Jacinto being a County maintained street, I would amend my motion to state that we accept these proposals we have heard here tonight pro- vided the County also agrees to accept them; that's the pro- posal on San Jacinto Street. Meza: There is a motion on the floow to accept the recommenda- tions of the consulting engineers with the County being a party to accepting these recommendations.
